racing history<\/li>\n<li>The grand tourer is one of only 31 right-hand-drive examples produced by the Italian automaker<\/li>\n<li>Equipped with a 300 hp, 3.3-liter V-12 engine, the chassis represents a premier target for global automotive collectors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB\/4 with deep roots in motorsport and celebrity provenance has officially returned to the market. The legendary grand tourer, carrying chassis number 09261, boasts a remarkably diverse history that distinguishes it from standard production models. The vehicle originally shipped to Kenya for competitive use, establishing an early racing pedigree in East Africa long before entering the private collection of rock icon Eric Clapton in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>As one of only 31 right-hand-drive examples ever produced, the car remains an incredibly rare configuration of an already revered silhouette. The coupe pairs aggressive Italian styling with meticulous mechanical engineering, initially designed to dominate both the track and the open road. Returning the vehicle to its factory-original Grigio Argento finish honors the initial aesthetic vision of the marque. Clapton\u2019s long-term association with the chassis only amplifies its cultural cachet, cementing the vehicle as a unique intersection of classic automotive history and rock-and-roll mythology.\n<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood, the prancing horse is equipped with a 300 hp, 3.3-liter four-cam V-12 engine. This specific powertrain configuration is widely considered one of the most capable and desirable road-going setups the manufacturer ever built during that era. The naturally aspirated V-12 provides the definitive acoustic and performance signature that purists demand from mid-century grand tourers.\n<\/p>\n<p>The convergence of an elite ownership timeline and competitive African motorsport origins elevates the intrinsic value of the coupe. Buyers rarely encounter a classic vehicle carrying such an idiosyncratic international footprint. For top-tier global collectors, the combination of a flawless silver aesthetic, rigorous performance specs and high-profile rock royalty provenance makes this specific machine an unmatched acquisition opportunity in the current classic car landscape.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<section class=\"post-widget-sources\">\n<header>\n<h4>Sources<\/h4>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"sources-grid\">\n<div class=\"source-item\">\n<p class=\"source-name\"><span>classicdriver.com<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6748070\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Lando Norris Welcomes Rumors of Max Verstappen Moving to McLaren Ahead of British Grand Prix\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6748634\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>New Arrivals From HBX: NEIGHBORHOOD\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6748068\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Fujifilm QuickSnap Turns 40 With New Black and White and Waterproof Disposable Cameras\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.
